Feast of Cosmos and Damian Sept 26
The names Cosmos and Damian sound like names from a super hero movie.
Instead they are twins who became doctors and were martyred for their Christian Faith during the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian.
Their names are included in the first Eucharistic Prayer at the Mass known as the Roman Canon that dates back to the 7th century.
Back in their day,
Super heroes were REAL people, not fictional
Who gave their lives for Christ.
That is the difference between a saint and a comic book character!
God Bless
